Gambling is a crime from God's standpoint!

It promotes greed in the society all you need is thorough explanation to understand the matter, that is if you want to know.

Greed is a sin not gambling. Every business has the tendency to be overtaken by greed. Gambling is reward for brain work. It's one of the most difficult business, unfortunately many greedy and lazy people jump into it. If you have and know how to practice patience, perseverance, discernment and self control then it will favor you

■ Hahahahahah See this one I quote from the Bible and it has nothing to do with the GB. So you want to tell us that apart from Jehovahs witnesses, all other churches now approve of gambling? Omg... Nothing can surprise me
■ Why not visit Google and type 'God's view of gambling'. There are several sites and articles that talks about it and come back to tell us whether it is a doctrinal thing or not
■ I have non witness friends that preach against it. Gambling is fuelled by greed. I'm sorry to tell you this cos it is a truth you don't want to hear

1. But none of what you said comes directly from what is written in any of the verses you quoted meaning your "interpretations" are not in fact from scripture from the special doctrines and traditions of men you have fed from. I am not here to argue your denominations but to point out the Truth of God apart from all the lies you have been fed.

2. Google God's view of gambling? Are you for reals? We should abandon what the Truth of God as clearly written in scripture to instead cling to the opinions of men — the very doctrines and traditions of men which Jesus Christ warned His followers to steer clear of.

You really do not understand the place of God's Law at all in the life of those who in fact follow Him, do you? WOW...

3. God's Law is not a game of numbers where you can say many believe it so it is of God. Seriously, you do yourself no good pretending to believe in God when every other word that comes out of you clearly reveals you aren't even interested in Him at all.

Kobojunkie:
Search through the almost 100 commandments contained in the National Constitution of God's Special Kingdom of Priests aka the Kingdom of God, what you know as the Gospel aka God's Law and Truth, Jesus Christ, and you will find not single commandment or teaching instructing against gambling. What does that mean? It means gambling is not a sin.

God loves and encourages gambling
If Jesus were here today, and his disciples asked him. He'd say yes

Aemmyjah:


Sports betting is gambling and all forms of gambling is a sin cos it is fueled by greed to 'win' money but it is others people money you are pocketing. Many people use jazz to win and many people lives have become useless
If Jesus were alive today, will you see him and his disciples playing sports bet

Use jazz to win sport bet? You're a comedian my gee

Aemmyjah:
1. The OT does not belong to anyone Constitution today. You want to tell me that gambling was practiced in those days? No. Same with smoking and drugs that the Bible did not give laws cos it was not practiced then or even amongst the pagan neighbors. Go to Israel and observe their constitution

2. I quoted these 'theories' from the Bible. You seem to be pained. Are you an addict?

3. Jesus said guard against[b] every form or greed[/b]. It is that same greed in you that is making you angry. What has the context of the gambling the OP mentioned got to do with breathing? Are you OK? Breath of life is a free gift of God to all- plants, animals and humans. It is like you need to visit your dictionary to explain gambling for you but I can do it free of charge if you don't have an app. Bible also mentions to guard against every form of sexual immorality and I watch porn, can I justify my action since I have no with anyone, same with masturbation cos that is what most 'Christians' here reason. Jesus gave a principle or principles- 'keep your eyes simple, guard against every form of greed'. Guard against the love of money... Be content. Principles applies to every aspect of our lives. Honestly though, I have a colleague who won over 100,000 recently but it is far less all the money he has used in gambling. I heard of stories of those that won but got killed. There are countless stories of people who have had broken families, relationships, lost their jobs cos of gambling and it comes in many subtle forms. To be honest, I was also affected during lockdown when I was encouraged by a colleague to 'invest'. My conscience warned me so much but I felt I'll do it once. The thing crashed that very day. The guy knew but did that to win referrals. So my dear, keep fooling yourself

4. Avoid gambling is a delusion? You need a drink madam

Look, as I have more than explained at this point, gambling is a core part of living itself, you gamble each morning you enter your car to drive yourself from one destination to another, you gamble when you have kids, etc. Do you think dragging this on will change that?

In His Gospel— God's Constitution and Law in His special Nation of Priests aka the Kingdom of God —, Jesus Christ said It is not what you ingest that makes you unclean. He went on further to state that His followers will drink poison and it will not harm them - Mark 16 vs 16 - 19 & Matthew 15 vs 10 - 20 & Mark 7 vs 13 - 23. So, the question is do you believe Jesus Christ or do you believe your ideas instead?

I stopped anything betting (virtual and livebets) on 24th of january after a discussion with my landlord. As part of efforts to eliminate the habit, he was holding my money and giving me only what i needed to go to work on a daily. On my part i restricted my sporty and avoided all other betting sites.few days later, my phone fell inside water so it was impossible to play online.It was one of the best 1 month of my life. I have been able to for every money i spend. Last week, i booked some games but didnt play it, three spoilt it. The bible talked about your treasure been where your heart is. For bettors, your treasure will be betting instead of the lord jesus christ. Anything that takes your focus more than christ is an idol. Im not perfect yet cause i staked on thursday but im trusting on the lord jesus christ. Im sharing my story cause ive lost quite much in betting. I started betting since 2013 and the highest i have won is 41000 from livebet and 148000 from virtual. Imagine! Not even upto

Is Gambling a Sin?


Gamblers hope to gain money through the losses of others, but the Bible condemns coveting other people’s possessions.​—Exodus 20:17; Romans 7:7; 13:​9, 10.

A gain anywhere MUST result in a loss somewhere.
Did you know that the total energy in the universe is constant?
That means if you must gain energy (which you do most of the time), there must be a loss of energy somewhere else.
Did you know that government through central banks regulate the amount of money in circulation?
That means for you to make profit in a business, someone else must be losing money?
Every investment/business has two possible outcomes - gain or loss.
Every investor has one aim in mind - gain.
Even though I am not promoting gambling (at least an addiction to it), it's pathetic how people rush to attach "sin" to everything.

can you boldly enter bet9ja shop and preach this to those hustlers there?

The truth is he can't haha

In Scripture, it is written that God hates divorce, and some wrongly assume that it means divorce is a sin against God. This error in thought is clearly revealed from the fact that this same God declared in Jeremiah 3 vs 8 that He divorce Israel when she sinned against Him — He did eventually take her back later in the same age. The same God also allowed divorce for those of His Old Law —the Nation of Israel in the land of Canaan. He went on to allow divorce even in His New Covenant — the Constitution in His special Nation of Priest aka the Kingdom of God.

So, never assume that your understanding or opinion matters more where God's Truth is concerned. Always defer to God's Word in all cases, no matter what you think.

Same Gamble Mayor of Ekiti used to hit 47million days ago, make una dey play ▶️

Is Gambling a Sin?

Although the Bible does not discuss gambling in detail, we can discern from Bible principles that God views gambling as a sin.​—Ephesians 5:​17. a

Gambling is driven by greed, which God hates. (1 Corinthians 6:​9, 10; Ephesians 5:​3, 5)

Gamblers hope to gain money through the losses of others, but the Bible condemns coveting other people’s possessions.​—Exodus 20:17; Romans 7:7; 13:​9, 10.

Gambling, even for small amounts, can arouse a destructive love of money.​—1 Timothy 6:​9, 10.

Gamblers often rely on superstitions or luck. However, God views such beliefs as a form of idolatry, which is incompatible with his worship.​—Isaiah 65:11.

Rather than promote a desire to get something for nothing, the Bible encourages hard work. (Ecclesiastes 2:​24; Ephesians 4:​28) Those who follow the Bible’s advice can “eat food they themselves earn.”​—2 Thessalonians 3:​10, 12.

Gambling can arouse an unhealthy competitive spirit, which is disapproved in the Bible.​—Galatians 5:​26.

3. God's Law is not a game of numbers where you can say many believe it so it is of God. Seriously, you do yourself no good pretending to believe in God when every other word that comes out of you clearly reveals you aren't even interested in Him at all.

1. There are principles behind every commandments and laws in the Bible that gives us God's view of thinking. The Bible does not specifically mention abortion. But God's laws and principles helps us see. In ancient Israel, a man that struggles with a man and a woman gets hit by ACCIDENT, if the child dies, both men must be put to death. If that is God's view of accidental killing of a child, how much more the intentional killing? King David, in his praise to Jehovah reveals that Jehovah view of life of a person does not begin at conception but as an embryo. So it is not a trivial issue. Today, many religions including that of christendom approve of abortion. Bible too does not mention smoking but the principles that encourages Christians that their bodies are living temple and sacrifice and they should keep it holy and guard against every defilement of flesh and spirit. These and many others gives God views on gambling and besides. Unclean people cannot inherit God's kingdom. Same as greedy people and greed has many forms or children and gambling is number one. If this truth torment you, let it continue to torment you.

2. You said it was given by our GB. And I'm asking you to check the internet and you'll see how they use the Bible to give God's view and these ones are other churches and scholars.

3. So, if I apply God's word into my life and avoid gambling, am I a bad person. If I were a gambler, I'd have dropped out from school since cis that thing is highly addictive. I for de village... Can you please teach me the meaning of this expression 'over 2point2'... I'm not interested and I'm more happier than the gamblers combined cos I'm a very contended person.

I have seen the truth and I'm free from many pains built by love of dishonest money. When I was working at a factory, we used to laugh at those that lose cos it is on their face. They'd lie that they are going to buy food, they return with their shirt hanging around there shoulders like towel looking as if they lost money. I am the only guy that returns home with full salary. The manager is a JW and does not like giving them part of their allowance cos they collect part of it on weekend to gamble on premier league and also on Monday for champions league. They go home with 1000 or 500 naira. The moment one of them gets tired and wants to quit. That is when you'll hear stories that someone won 25 million in another state... When the guy arrives, he looks at one long white slip, I also follow and look to see which game spoilt it. Infact, these gambling made me realize we have many leagues and sports in the world like dog racing... Then he raises his hand and says 'Chai, my 40 million'. I'm like `wth, I see that he staked just 100 naira and he's shouting for 'his' 40 million. Is that not greed? Hoping others lose and you win and chop their money. One day, after much laughter, he comforted himself with these words he said which I won't forget 'To live is christ, to die is gain'. I almost laughed my intestines out

One of them said that gambling is not a sin that it is similar to the illustration of the talents Jesus mentioned. I looked at the man... Did those men gamble with the talent or INVESTED? Gambling and Investment and Anonymous

Kobojunkie:
1. I am afraid this meaningless gobbledegook fed you by your pastors and mogs, in your case GBs. God explicitly warned, in both of His Laws — the Law of Moses which happens to be the National Constitution of the Nation of Israel in the Land of Canaan, as well as the New Covenant, which happens to be the National Constitution of God's Special Nation of Priests aka the Kingdom of God — that you not add or change or remove from His Law. His Law defines for us that which is sin and that which is not sin, and attempts to add what are one's personal delusions to God's Law amounts to installing oneself over God Himself.

2. Your personal theories regarding gambling are meaningless where God's Law is concerned. I hope you know and understand that.

3. You say gambling is greed but Jesus Christ never said gambling is greed, and rightly so because gambling is what we do every day of our lives as human beings even. Even the breath we take is a gamble as we gamble that we will take in oxygen and nothing poisonous with each breath. So your conclusion which you clearly reached outside of Jesus Christ — since Jesus Christ never said gambling is greed — in fact not of Jesus Christ. Putting these words of yours in the mouth of Jesus Christ amounts to teaching the doctrines and traditions of men, lies, which are against God and that is antiChrist - Matthew 15 vs 1- 14 & Mark 7 vs 1 - 13

4. Using the name of Jesus Christ to teach what are your private delusions puts you against Jesus Christ who warned that these lies have nothing to do with Him.

Then what of the apostles who taught the people from what they had learnt living with Christ did they teach them verbally every single thing Christ taught them without mixing their own interpretations?

God truly said he hates divorce according to Malachi and he still do. Why not read the context of that verse. People were divorcing their wives cos of trivial issue and it was very bad
When I saw this, I knew you will DELIBERATELY refuse to mention what Jesus said about divorce. Abeg shift

Principles behind every commandment given you by whom? Certainly not God who instead said you should obey His commandments, and not some principles which you claim are behind the commandments that God made clear. Those commandments are meant to serve as axioms to guide His followers, yet here you insist instead that the axioms have sub- truths of their own, violating God's very commandment that you not add, change, or remove from His Law in any way of form.

Look, no be by force to associate oneself with God abeg. You obviously aren't interested in God's Truth but instead in your other principles and the doctrines and opinions of men. So what does it profit you to claim to be of God abeg?

Kobojunkie:

Oga, abi madam.. Are you a male or female?
Give one reasonable instance of how gambling is an everyday part of life
It is interesting to see how Satan can twist someone's reasoning
How is driving a car through a destination one WANTS, a part of gambling
Any how you want to define gambling... What the OP said is fact, 100%

1. Pretty much! Once you mix lies in with the Truth of God, it ceases to be God's Truth. That is why Jesus Christ told the proverb about the Kingdom of God being like a woman who added yeast to a batch of dough — a little leaven leavens the whole lump. As Jesus Christ explained, lies are antiChrist as they nullify the power of the Word of God, rendering a person's worship of God of no meaning or value - Matthew 15 vs 1 - 14 & Mark 7 vs 1 - 13

Gabling kills beware

Dtruthspeaker:


See funny justification. Forex and all those shitty games are Frauds designed to steal the earnings of simple people.

So people are just contributing to their own poverty in their bid to make a gain they did not work for hiding under the lie of "let your money work for you".

Is money a living thing that it should work?

From what you explained here, that means a market woman who buys goods for #10 and sells for #100 is also commiting sin. In other words, don't do business that will profit you more. Which isn't true

Okay but on the issue of gambling, I think if you're winning it's not a sin but once you can loosing it's a sin

Are you a gambler? I think you are in pained by this
Well, to avoid hurting myself physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, I must live my life as the Creator purposed and the Bible is a reliable guide.

TO illustrate, parents will tell their small children that 'When you want to cross mainroad, look left and ensure that no motor is coming, look right, ensure no car is coming, look left again and then cross'. That is a law or command. What if he comes across a busy highway or there's a traffic or 'go slow' ? It is PRINCIPLE that will help him. Principle from that same law. That he should ensure that he is at a safe distance to avoid being hit by a vehicle. Only matured minds can comprehend else, he'll keep standing there till midnight.
Mature Christians don't need laws and command on everything. Only baby Christians do. Milk is for children and solid food is for adult. A content Christian does not gamble cos he's presenting himself as a greedy person in God's eyes and greedy people have no place in God's kingdom. The key is contentment.
I still the pain I felt from that 'investment' but I learnt a good lesson. This one of bring 2 people to invest 500,000 naira each and you'll get paid in dollars daily is what is common here in Uyo. Still, people are falling for it. Many have traveled to live in the village. A thief is behind all these things... MMM, Racksterli, Chinmark, Pringpro, Sports bet, gambling chips, card betting, election betting, loom etc... Different forms of greed and they will assure you that nothing will happen and it will never crash. Those that sports betting make it look like everyone that bets will win but more people lose than they win and its amazing to me to see greyhaired men using a computer they can't operate well to bet.

It has affected me personally, I love to watch ball and my favorite team is Barcelona and Man City. I just sit there quiet all through cos the next person beside you may be dying that he's losing his money. When you stand up to cheer your team or celebrate and mistakenly hit him, he'll pour out all his anger and pain on you. Every match, the floor is filled with papers torn almost into half. Na so dem de waste our valuable trees. Some, their team wins but their eyes is burning in anger. I watched an city match yesternight, I only celebrated Haaland goal in my heart. I fit receive slap on the back of my head cos everyone was saying 'I played over 2'

Christianity is preparing adherents for the kingdom of God where there won't be envy or anything promoting envy. If millions play (not work) for something and one person was given all the money invested into the game that means the person is lucky (from the viewpoint of unbelievers) the Bible calls the god of good luck "Mammon" Jesus said we can't worship Mammon along with God {Matthew 6:24} that is why true Christians stay away from Gambling!

I have people that have gone to the village to meet one man
Not really for sports bet (though I heard of such) but for lotto
Lemme ask, why do people go to mad Men to pick number for them? Some of them wins though. I stay at uyo. Is it that mad people are gifted with such knowledge? They don't usually give anything to them or even mention it.
Same with juju doctors. They claim to have made many to become millionaires or billionaires but you wont see any of them among the top 1 million richest in Nigeria
Nothing makes sense again
Betting does not attract me anyways
